GOTNW Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 I cagematched Joe Malenko and noticed these: http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75810&page=2 http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75811&page=2 http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75812&page=2 http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75813&page=2 http://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=75814&page=2 New Japan has had about a million attempts at forming subsidiaries (the latest being LOCK-UP, NEVER and NOAH) and one that's basically MUGA/Dradition ten years before that promotion came to life sounds dope. Has anyone heard of this previously? Was it taped? Any good?
DGinnetty Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 I recall one or 2 commercial VHS releases. Not sure if any aired on TV. Dan Ginnetty
Jetlag Posted February 4, 2017 Report Posted February 4, 2017 These main events look awesome. Should send an email to Lynch maybe?
Bierschwale Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 With the guys like Bacon & Rigby who came from catch or boxing backgrounds, it has a really weird early ZERO-1 feeling.
Jetlag Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 I got 3 discs from Quebrada: http://www.quebrada.net/videos/Muga1.html This is fucking awesome stuff. If anyone has more 90s MUGA, contact me because I'll pay you in gold. More reviews will come later. So far I watched 2/3 discs, and every single match has been worthwhile. The main events kick ass.
El-P Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 I got 3 discs from Quebrada: http://www.quebrada.net/videos/Muga1.html Mike is still selling stuff ? I'm amazed !
Jetlag Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 Yeah, and he even offers downloads! Pretty cool for eurofolks like me who wish to dodge shipping costs. Thoughts on all 3 discs: 1 - the commercial tape: the Takaiwa vs. Shoda (Masada) rookie squash is fun and violent. Everything else is great. This is a keeper for sure. 2 - the 1998 show: I loved this show because every match was a fun, inventive grappling heavy 10 minute match between two young guys/girls and the main event was a hidden gem. 3 - the 1999 show: this is the least of the 3 shows but still fun to watch. Satomura/Kato, the Aoyagi match and the main event were the best matches. Also Kurashima almost killed his opponent in the opener with 2 ganso bombs.
El-P Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 Yeah, and he even offers downloads! Pretty cool for eurofolks like me who wish to dodge shipping costs. I spent ridiculous money 17/18 years ago getting tapes from Poughkeepsie to my little town in France so I could watch japanese wrestling. Good for him he's still going on !

Same here although I'm in the States. He was my first place to get tapes/DVDs of puro & joshi. His reviews were always in depth & well thought out. I'll still refer to his site for dates, obscure match participants, show locations, take on matches etc. Its a great resource!
Bierschwale Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 Damn, I wanna see pre-Z1 Fugo Fugo. But I guess that the Lancashire stuff is lost.
